Comparative developmental anatomy of seedlings in nine species of podostemaceae (subfamily Podostemoideae).

Abstract excerpt

The developmental anatomy is described for seedlings of nine Asian and Australian species of Podostemaceae, subfamily Podostemoideae. The hypocotyl is rudimentary (except in Zeylanidium olivaceum) and does not form a primary root in any of the species examined.
